Good point .
-
Think that's harsh. He's been good when he's come on and for most of the game we were just launching at and not getting it into his feet. Goal aside, Shaw was pretty anonymous again the first half so I'd have Garrity in over him.
-
Aye, he's got a bit of a glass ceiling with us but has proved he's a good manager so wouldn't be surprised.
-
I wasn't sure about him at the start of the season but the effort he puts in alone is impressive. For someone that's just turned 23 and in their second full season at this level, it's equally as impressive he's been able to adjust so well to a change of position too. We've had a few similar players over the years that haven't quite cut it here - Aidan Nesbitt, etc - but I'd have him over any of them and think he'll be a big player for us next season regardless of where he plays.
-
We'd be mental to even consider letting him go. Not convinced Shaw adds anything at all. Was better the second half but can't get away with just a cross and a couple of corners every week.
-
Whole thing just seems to be following a trend with wee neds just now at different clubs. Same songs, same clothes and same statements while thinking they can do what they like. Not sure if they're involved in the statement or not but know of a group that are Rangers fans so seems to be an excuse just to act up.
-
I'm surprised he has had the career he's had since. Although he was played out of position, it didn't even look like he had the basics to be a professional footballer.
-
That should be nothing to do with us. We've got the best, and actual, enclosure in football.
-
It was a better atmosphere at the end. Wee guys following a fashion to wear black hoodies, sing a song about hooligans and bang a drum that's out of tune isn't adding much.

Looks like it according to this - https://www.inverclyde.gov.uk/environment/roads-lighting/Road-works. Not sure if it's open to walk under though or if there's still limited spaces in the car park.

The weirdest thing about these groups (for all teams) is they seem to enjoy finding things to 'protest' about as much as the football. Maybe I'm just old but the whole thing seems like it's more about hanging about with their mates and following a trend than actually supporting a team.
-
Don't really agree with this - if they are causing bother then they should face the consequences. Going to games isn't an excuse to act however you want.
-
The club supported that group by letting them paint the Cowshed and promoting them on Twitter so if I was involved in that I'd be a bit annoyed to see daft 'statements' like this. As Dunning said, the club have done a decent job in this area. Even if they didn't want to ban people, I'd suspect there is pressure from police and the SFA given that it's been things like fights and throwing flares at stewards that has been the problem. The fact it's a nationwide stadium ban suggests that too - Morton don't have that power. I saw a few people mentioning Partick fans getting into the Cowshed as if that was some sort of excuse too but it's a pretty flawed argument.
-
Saw that last night and still cringing at it. The other photos on their Instagram are even worse.
-
Don't think the land is of particularly high value unless there's council houses or something built there. We're unlikely to get any sort of private investment because of the area. I wouldn't like us to move anyway although it's difficult to be sustainable with a stadium with high running costs that doesn't really make any money apart from when there's games there. That said, I don't think the Cowshed or anywhere apart from the main stand will have particularly high costs to keep them up to scratch. Apart from the roof issues recently, which could happen anywhere with that weather, it's just a roof. Ideal scenario for me would be to get a main stand similar to what Ayr done recently with better hospitality, office areas, etc while still keeping the rest of what we have.
-
I'd like to see someone play a bit closer to him. Think he's isolated a bit at times and had to drop too deep.
-
Teams will be starting to do their business now and get agreements in place and players heads turned. Getting longer term deals is the best protection we can get albeit a small gamble but another win or two and we're safe. Apparently Corr is due back. Davies isn't scoring and has been average at best while still getting game time - we need to improve up top and we have. The defence is fine if we avoid injuries, it's a push to say the same about forwards.
-
I'd be surprised if we can keep Mullen - I think he's the best keeper in the league although maybe doesn't get the recognition for it - and we need to do everything we can to keep him. Wilson is in a similar category although does pick up a few injuries and some (not me) think a lack of pace holds him back so would be looking for a 2 year deal for him. Lyall and Boyes have really came on to a game recently too so I wouldn't agree about leaving it late. Both young players who took a while to settle in but playing well so imagine other teams will be looking at them as well but think they'd be happy to sign if we got in before anyone else approaches them. Baird I'm not sure about - he's a good player for us but not sure many teams will be after him so could maybe hold off since Corr is due back too.
-
Feasibility study?
-
Looked really good in spells of games but drifted in and out of them most times he played. Would have been good to keep as cover but don't think he really done enough to pushing for a starting place this season, and I don't think I've even seen anyone shouting for this, so probably makes sense since his contract is up in the summer anyway. Hopefully we can bring in someone else now.
-
I'd probably keep both - decent young players who are good in spells of games. Neither should start every week but if they can build some consistency into their games they'll come good.
-
Biggest problem is that whatever happened is probably going to be another retrospective statement from the club. It's not a great look when having moans about stuff after it's happened and having to backtrack and explain.
-
Same rumour has went about for a few seasons so doubted it again. Pretty poor if it is the case - even if they wanted to change things up there's no need to get rid of all the staff.
-
Think you've made that up.
